| Mom and I at Fort Huachuca, Arizona, exactly nine years ago this week. I was graduating from a Technical School there while in the United States Army and she flew out to be at the graduation. Happy Mother's Day! |
Hear ye, hear ye! O yez, o yez!
Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful mothers out there. I am blessed to have the best of the best. If you went to Woodstown Family Practice in the past two decades, you'll remember my mom, Nurse Maria Cook. If you were a child, you'd remember her as "da shot wady!" (as I've heard a few tots called her to their mothers). If you're one of my siblings, you know her as the best Mom on the planet.
Love you, Mom, and Happy Mother's Day!!!
